Eighth image from #Brisbane #WeekendWander #Photography. Again, using highlight-weighted metering on #Nikon #D850 to stop the exposure at the point any pixels reach maximum brightness, so highlights don't blow out for both the #Sculpture, and the #ArchitecturePhotography. When I saw the way the statue was lit by the afternoon sun, I immediately thought of Steichen's 1911 photo of Rodin's Monument to Balzac.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ste

A grand neo-classical style brick building, photographed face-on. In the midground, a sunlit lawn, and in the foreground, a lifesize bronze statue of a toga-wearing, bearded man, atop a shoulder-high dark stone plinth - a monument to Hippocrates. The statue is mostly in dark shadow, lit only on its right side, creating a dramatic high-contrast lighting effect.

Went for a #Photography #WeekendWander in #Brisbane last weekend. Afternoon experiments with #Nikon #D850 trying out highlight-weighted metering. It's an interesting mode that produces something reminiscent of slide film, and exposes really nicely - very similar to what I'd expect with a hand-held lightmeter reading the sunlight directly.

Not having blown-out higlights is a huge plus - recovered darks look a lot better than data-less lights.
